    Abstract: A golf scorecard holder is formed of rigid transparent plastic and is of generally rectangular-shaped configuration. One longitudinal edge portion of the golf scorecard holder is shaped to define a curved clamping element and a recess which is shaped in dimension to frictionally engage a pencil for use by a golfer. The other longitudinal edge portion of the holder is shaped to define a retaining lip. A clamping ring may be attached to either end of a holder and is attachable to a golf bag. A transparent envelope is clamped against the clamping surface of the holder by the clamping element to retain the transparent envelope against the clamping surface.

The basket is then lowered leaving a predetermined amount of bait in the bait receiving pocket. At this point the bait receiving pocket is opened thereby dispensing a predetermined amount of live bait into the fisherman's bucket along with a predetermined amount of water.
